(p. graninger/e. robbins)

there ain’t nothin’ i can do
or nothing i can say
that folks don’t criticize me
but i’m gonna do what i want to anyway
and i don’t care just what people say

if i should take a notion to jump into the ocean
‘t ain’t nobody’s bizness if i do

if i go to church on sunday then cabaret all day monday
‘t ain’t nobody’s bizness if i do

if my man ain’t got no money and i say take all mine honey
‘t ain’t nobody’s bizness if i do

if i give him my last nickle and it leaves me in a pickle
‘t ain’t nobody’s bizness if i do

i’d rather my man would hit me than for him to jump up and quit me
‘t ain’t nobody’s bizness if i do

i swear i won’t call no coppa if i’m beat up by my poppa
‘t ain’t nobody’s bizness if i do

nobody’s bizness, ain’t nobody’s bizness
nobody’s biznes if i do
